And I pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Beast.Around four years after they first crossed paths, YouTube star MrBeast and content creator Thea Booysen, both 28, are now married."I found MrsBeast ❤️❤️❤️ and it was the best day of my life," the famed billionaire wrote on a Tuesday, July 21 Instagram post confirming his wedding.Photos of the couple show Booysen wearing an ivory and nude bridal gown with floral lace detailing while the groom donned a white tuxedo shirt and blazer over black pants with a black bow tie.Following their engagement in December 2024, Jimmy Donaldson, known for his over-the-top stunts on YouTube and his reality competition series "Beast Games," revealed he was opting for a simple, straightforward wedding."My friends thought I would want to propose in a very public way, like some sort of spectacle at the Super Bowl or somewhere else really big like that," he previously told People. "But I knew that I wanted it to be the opposite, to be really private and intimate."How did MrBeast and Thea Booysen meet?Donaldson met his wife through a mutual friend on a trip to her home country, South Africa. Donaldson sent her a direct message on X asking if he could read her upcoming book "The Marked Children," Booysen previously revealed to People."I thought YouTubers were just sort of a persona, but when I met him, I was quite surprised to see that he's actually a nice guy. He wasn't sitting there with an ego," she said.The "Beast Games" creator proposed about a year into their relationship, though Booysen said she encouraged him to wait until she finished her graduate program at the University of Edinburgh before tying the knot."In my mind, we're already married," she said. "We talk about children, how we're going to live together when we're 70 years old… this was just another step in the process." She had already graduated with a master's degree in human cognitive neuropsychology when she said, "I do" on Christmas Day."We were opening presents, and then for the very last present he asked me to close my eyes because it was a surprise," she continued.Donaldson said he was trying to catch her off guard and have her family present for it, adding, "Thea is really close to her family, so I wanted to make sure that they were included in this momentous occasion."Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY
